Particular attention is paid to the consequences of averaging over many pulses of different shapes. Averaging over many pulses is a very common practice, and if the pulse shape varies then the measurement result will be incorrect. This issue, referred to as a coherent artifact, is simulated for frequency-resolved optical gating using several nonlinearities, spectral interferometry, spectral interferometry for direct electric field reconstruction, two-dimensional spectral shearing interferometry, self-referenced spectral interferometry using cross-polarized wave generation, multiphoton intrapulse interference phase scan and variants on it, and dispersion scan. The role of measurement feedback in identifying pulse-shape instability is explored where possible. Several techniques receive additional analysis, such as searching for ambiguities or simulating convergence conditions. In addition, a method for intuitively displaying spatiotemporally distorted pulses is explored and developed.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Troubleshooting Ultrashort Pulse Measurement: The Coherent Artifact and Other Issues"}],"uid":"27690","created_gmt":"2016-03-03 16:57:06","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:16:52","author":"Jacquelyn Strickland","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-03-10T14:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2016-03-10T16:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-03-10T16:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-03-10 19:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-03-10 21:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-03-10 21:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"119191","name":"PhD Dissertation Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
